Regardless of how well their goalkeeper played, we should not be drawing with Stoke at home and with that team. I dont know whats going on bus its not right, and we wont be winning anything with performances like this. Are we that much better than last year under LVG?

Lots of hate for Rooney in here, he wasn't the one that missed the chances.

For a guy that didn't play the full 90 a lot of people are focusing their attention on him.

We created a ton of chances today and didn't take them, that is what cost us the 3 points.

It's over. Honestly, we're so far behind Liverpool and City, and they're way more consistent than us. No chance at all that we're winning the league.

Bloody embarrassment. Mourinho has lost it. We should have hired Klopp. Why isn't Miki playing?

Friggin idiotic lot.
It's not really Mourinho's fault that the players couldn't finish or that De Gea fecked up. We made more than enough chances to win comfortably

2 points dropped thanks to Zlatan and Pogba and their inability to take the chances the rest of the team created for them.
:lol:

Why not blame Lingard while you are going after Zlatan's perfect pass.

Absolutely terrible. Ibrahimovic needs to take a long hard look at himself after saying he isn't happy with how much the team is creating while he wastes chances left, right and center
Agreed he needs to hold the ball up better pass better stop spitting his dummy out and giving away free-kick

fecking useless bunch.

Ibrahimovic and Pogba need to wake the feck up. You just HAVE to finish those chances.

De Gea and Blind losing concentration right at the key moment.

Honestly, just sell anybody from the Moyes/LVG era and start over. The likes of Blind, Herrera, Mata, Fellaini, Rooney just all need to fecking leave so we can get rid of this shite cloud over the club.

Absolutely embarassing we didnt get 3 points from that match. There for the taking and these guys just faffed it. Honestly, a little more running and intensity in closing down and it would have been an easy win.

We are struggling to get top 4 this year. Title contenders? Having a laugh.

Now we have to worry about getting turned over by the dippers and chelski away from home. I'd settle for two draws in those fixtures right now.

Rooney coming on was one of the most pointless subs ever. Unless Mata was injured.

I'm just accepting we're an average team now because lets be honest we are.

Title winners? Not a chance city, Arsenal, Liverpool would've smashed them today

That second half performance is up there in terms of how bafflingly bad it was. It's like we realised Stoke were rubbish but had been paid for the game to end in a draw, so had to do everything in our power not to win.

Should have been a comfortable win but instead it's hard to argue we didn't get what we deserved.

3 points down the drain but we did create plenty of good chances, just a mix of a journeyman keeper inspired and poor finishing.

We are cursed. No other explanation. No matter how much money we throw at it, no matter who we hire the post-SAF curse just won't end.

We could sign MSN and we would still struggle.
This exactly. Ever since Fergie left, we've been mediocre, and that mediocrity seems to be permanent.

I think we might be proper contenders in ten years or so.

feck that keeper seriously.

Wtf was that De Gea, its a ball not a fecking nuclear bomb.

Frustrating because their fecking keeper pulled out save after save. feck football sometimes.

Their keeper had a great game, ours made an error.

But this team doesn't have the hunger or work ethic to challenge for the title, it's been that way since Fergie retired and I don't see it changing for a long time because, just like the players, I simply don't have the heart to care about two points thrown away anymore. I'll happily take 4th!

The reasoning for taking Herrera off when he did will always be beyond me.

Pogba and Zlatan were poor. Rashford wasn't great and De Gea was dodgy for their goal.

Bailly, Blind, Herrera, Lingard and Martial played well.

Need to be more ruthless but in general, that was a lot better than similar results we had over recent seasons, even if it was just as frustrating.

feck off back to the championship grant, won't be seen again. His one big game.

We are shite, if Zlatan doesn't have a screamer, we are toast. Bit like the RVP second year.

Think Top 4 is going to be a stretch if the teams around us don't become shit sometime soon.

Mourinho needs only 4 players this season? Feck off we needed at least 6.

A must to buy in Jan

Their Keeper played an absolute blinder and we missed a ridiculous amount of chances. On another day we could - and perhaps should - have romped that game 6-1.

Just one of those days, all teams have them. Don't be too disheartened people.

The miss after 1 minute was key. No way he should have missed. Zlatan should score 19 times out of 20.
We look 7 players short of challenging. How did we draw today, Stoke are terrible.
What a day of shit sport.

If this were FM I'd fecking reload the last save and bitch about the shite cheating match engine.

We'll struggle to finish fourth. We are a Europa League side.

Good performance, shit result in the end. Theirs was a freak goal, De Gea fumble, deflection off two players and off the bar to Allen's feet, can't really legislate for that.

What the hell did Blind do?
He had all the time in the world to bring down the ball that led to their goal, instead he sliced it out for a throw, which they scored from.

More on big Dave though, that shot, though deflected, needed to be caught.

Don't even want to watch the fecking City game now. If spurs do us a favor, we'll still be 5 fecking points ahead. 7 points and it's already over on October 1
